One of the things I like most about being a pet parent is the unconditional love and affection they provide. But pets also provide an never-ending source of entertainment as well, and our kids are no exception. Take Sheldon for instance. First off, having a standard poodle is a totally new experience. Standard poodles have such a different personality from Koshimi and other dogs who have been part of my life. Sheldon enjoys showing off, prancing around and seems to prefer the company of people to other dogs. One of the more amusing habits Sheldon has is admiring himself in the mirror. It's the fun to watch him before he realizes he is being observed. He tilts his head, looks from side to side, no doubt thinking to himself: "Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who's the fairest poodle of them all? Well actually he is more likely thinking: "Damn I'm one handsome fella".
above: Lest you think that first photo was an exception, here is another photo of Young Sheldon, caught at the hallway mirror. He is one silly little puppy.

Good to see them all and especially old Koshimi still loooking good
That is a cute picture of Shimi!
sweet furbabies...
Aw, I love Sheldon!! I love the other two also but I really dig Sheldon with his vanity. ;)
I love Sheldon stories. They make me smile. But..I have to say that the picture of Sheldon with that stuffed animal (on the chair) freaked me out...b/c the stuffed animal appears to be the same color as Owen!
Phew...glad Owen's ok. :)
When Sheldon is looking in the mirror, he's probably thinking who the heck is that interloper in my house??!!
I love it when dogs look at themselves in the mirror. Our English Springer used to do it and my mother loved to take pictures of him too. He was a handsome fella, just like Sheldon. See, some dogs have good taste!
That Sheldon is a real character.
They are both so beautiful! Sheldon & Owen!
sheldon and his mirror how cute is that?
I used to like to shine a flash light on the floor for my baby brother's springer spaniel, Wicket. Or I would use my watch to reflect light. She would prance around following it. . .
Have you read Travels with Charley by John Steinbeck? If I'm not mistaken - and I have been many times - he traveled the country with his dog, a Standard Poodle. Although I read the book a long time ago and it was about much more than his dog, the thing I remember most about the book was that the poodle sure was a smart dog & I'd like to have one. But instead, I've had 2 Welsh Corgis and 2 pound pups. But your Sheldon looks lovely. Cheers!
